Edge need Limit Media Autoplay (ALL)
- You're welcome, yeah they still have to ship a lot of features from the previous Edge to the new one

I also request they change how to re-enable autoplay on sites you'd like autoplay.
For example, Imgur is blocked by default. But how can we re-enable that?
ikjadoon Your request requires the browser to keep a list of websites to auto play and others to not auto play. It is similar to how ad blockers work in creating a white list of sites not to block. They also should let you edit this white list so you can remove or add sites to the white list. Great Idea!
Deleted Yes, agreed!
I think they already have the database for site permission, for what it's worth. Adding it here would be good (maybe not under tracking protection, haha, but somewhere in this menu!):
Or here:
I hope they implement it as it's quite "one size fits all" right now. It should be granular, per-site--like all our other permissions already are.
In Canary 78.0.249.0 the Limit Media Autoplay flag has disappeared for me. I hope that this is an indication that it will move to a standard feature as in Edge Legacy. I am also hopeful that the feature will be implemented as Block Media Autoplay instead. The Limit Media Autoplay flag did not seem to stop much in the way of autoplaying video.
And while I am hoping, I am hopeful that whatever the final solution is it will provide a way to stop the Netflix background preview autoplay and any others like it.
ikjadoon Perfect. If you have not already then please add your great idea as a new feedback request.
